United States Capitol - East Side - Photograph Taken from First Street Where It Changes From NE to SE

The United States Capitol is located in what used to be the center of Washington DC (before a portion of the city’s land was returned to Virginia).

The Capitol provides meeting chambers for the two legislative bodies of the United States Government, the United States Senate and the House of Representatives. Historically the building provided space for other functions including chambers for the Supreme Court and room for the Library of Congress. Both of these functions have now been moved to their own buildings. Click Supreme Court to see the StationStart.com entry about the United States Supreme Court. Click Library of Congress to see the StationStart.com entry about the Thomas Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress.

There are many things to see and experience at the Capitol that will be covered in additional entries at StationStart.com. When those entries are added, links to them will be added to the bottom of this entry.
